Adventures of a tiny Squirrel and her friends...

Tuesday, 15 May 2012

My 30th birthday was last week and it was a crazy hectic work week for Teddy so he planned a little adventure in the mountains for him, Squish and I for yesterday. It was awesome! We started off in Squamish at Shannon Falls and had a lovely little picnic lunch in the sunshine. Squish was really excited about the waterfall and we took a zillion pictures. Next, we headed North to Whistler (I actually had never been to Whistler in the four years that I have lived in Vancouver...) It's a beautiful place though super busy and touristy. We had fabulous weather and had a relaxing little sit by Lost Lake then a little snack in the village before heading back to Squamish to check out the Howe Sound Brew Pub for a delicious pint and some dinner. Other highlights include seeing TWO BEARS!!!!!!! One in Whistler and a second in Squamish on our way back home. I can't think of a better birthday in all my 30 years :)

Saturday was great too! Squish and I had to leave Teddy at home in bed with the flu to attend a little dinner with some friends at The Eatery. It was really fun! Squish had a ball charming the wait staff and everyone around us. I ate so much food and delicious cake and left the evening full and content. Teddy was feeling a bit better on Sunday morning so we celebrated Mother's Day with brunch at a little diner down the street then hit the photo booth for an updated ridiculous family photo session. All in all, it was a really great weekend. I am feeling very lucky :)

The news that I was ranting about last entry is that we are moving house! I'm pretty pumped about it and looking forward to some positive change. I have also applied to school for the winter term of 2013 and am feeling really good about life in general. ALSO!!!! We have a new little family member!!! Congratulations to Autumn's Auntie Melissa and Uncle Stafford and a huge welcome to baby Cole! He's so freaking cute, it's insane and we're dying to meet him. Lots of big things happening lately! Exciting times for everyone :)

Daddy finds us a nice shady spot to rest.

The water was freezing. Those people on that floating dock are nutters.
